The third volume, now missing materials from the end, of a
codicologically heterogeneous composite of fascicle groups and
individual leaves containing copies of sermons in German, assembled
near the end of the 14th century or early in the 15th century for
use in the women's cloister of St. Andreas at Engelberg. Together
with Cod. 335, this is the oldest textual witness for the body of
works known as the "Engelberger Predigten" (formerly the
"Engelberger Prediger"). Scribes have been identified as the latter
Johannes von Bolsenheim, Prior of Engelberg, and the clerk of
Lucerne and lay prebendary Johannes Friker, who died in 1388. The
Benedictine nuns of St. Andreas took the two complementary volumes
Cod. 335 and Cod. 336 (a third volume may have been lost) as well
as Cod. 337 and at least 24 additional manuscripts with them to
their new location at Sarnen; these have been held in the library
of Engelberg Abbey since 1887.
